Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 bundles of collard greens, about 5 cups, stem removed and chopped
½-1 cup vegetable broth
2 15-ounce cans black eyed peas, drained and rinsed
juice of 1/2 lemon
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
salt & pepper, to taste

Preparation

In a large skillet, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until fragrant.
To the skillet, add the greens and 1/2 cup vegetable broth. Cover with a lid and cook until greens start to wilt. Keep an eye on them as they cook, stirring intermittently and adding more broth, if needed.
Once the greens are cooked, add the cooked black eyed peas. Stir and cook until heated through. Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with crushed red pepper. Serve warm with salt & pepper (to taste) and enjoy!
